2 strange cases on Korean screens: God is still in heaven when he’s lazy to act in a movie

The Korean entertainment industry has dozens of new faces every year, so if you want to keep your charm, you must appear regularly, if you don’t accept projects, you must go to events or update the situation on social networks.

There are, of course, exceptions, people who, even with minimal appearances, retain an unfathomably strong influence. That exception belongs to “the Dae Jang Geum” Lee Young Ae and the male god Won Bin.

With Lee Young Ae, she became famous throughout Asia thanks to the movie “Dae Jang Geum”. It was not until 2 years later that she reappeared in Lady of Revenge and continued to be absent from the screen for nearly 12 years.

In 2017, the big screen sister returned with the movie The Sphinx of the Road, Diary of Light. And of course, she continued to be absent for 2 years before she reappeared in Please Bring My Child Home.

Most recently, in 2021, Lee Young Ae made a spectacular makeover with a comeback in Inspector KooUnfortunately, this movie did not resonate too much.

With the “lazy”, Lee Young Ae is still extremely popular. Her salary, according to the Korean media, is revealed to be on a par with Jeon Ji Hyun, one of the top earners of Korean actresses.

Her influence in the media and press is of course also extremely strong, her name has never been a hot topic.

More confusing than Lee Young Ae is Won Bin’s case. During his 25-year career, Won Bin only acted in 13 films, both film and television.

The most recent movie is also from 2010. For more than 10 years, he has not had any activities, even did not appear in front of the media.

While other stars who have been missing for 1 or 2 years have been considered retired, at the end of the time Won Bin is still in the position of A-class luxury, even dubbed the “king of advertising”. To get Won Bin’s nod, get him on screen for a few seconds, brands have to pay huge amounts of money.

In a rare interview with the press, Won Bin revealed the reason for not appearing on the screen for the past 10 years.

“When I see a new movie, I first feel it with my heart, then use my head to think. In my head, I knew there were roles that were essential to my career. Reason told me to accept. But in fact, even though I read the script many times, my heart still didn’t like it, so I finally decided to give up.”
